Baseball Rule Book Language Stymies Umpires!


Wanting to become an umpire, but your rule knowledge is lacking? Are you a beginning umpire and your rule knowledge is not as good as it should be?  Are you a journeyman umpire going to camps, but not advancing through the ranks while frequently questioning your own rule interpretations?  If your answer to these questions is yes you’re not alone, many thousands of umpires struggle with official rule book language and scattered rule information. The good news there is help.


Baseball Rules in Black and White has been developed especially to clarify the rule book language converting it into easy to read sentences. In addition rulings are not randomly scattered throughout the book.  Related rulings are listed together with the initial infraction, so the reader can understand and retain the entire ruling.

Finding a ruling in Baseball Rules in Black and White is as easy as going to the Table of Contents in the front of the book and locating the ruling’s page number. No more going to an index with tiny font in the back of the book only to find confusing rule numbers and even when you find the page it’s not what you were looking for.

You can wait twenty, thirty or fifty years of umpiring struggling to gain an accurate understanding of the confusing rule book language and format, or you can do what hundreds of NCAA D-I &II and NFHS umpires across the country have done. Buy a copy of Baseball Rules in Black and White.  Our latest books, the 2018 College Edition and the 2018 High School Edition are both available now at our website or Lulu.com.

As umpires we all want to be able to apply a ruling quickly and accurately. Baseball Rules in Black and White makes this happen! Our 2018 High School Edition is currently on sale.
